Which of the following is NOT a new feature introduced in Tableau 2020.1?

• A.Dynamic Paramaters
• B.Viz Animations
• C.Buffer Calculations
• D.Set Control

Correct Answer: D

Explanation
Your Tableau Desktop Specialist exam will be based on the 2020.1 version.
Set controls are a new feature introduced in the 2020.2 version, and hence is the correct answer - it is not a part of 2020.1 For the 2020.1 version the new features were:
1) Viz animations:
Viz animations help you see and understand your changing data. It's easy to track the logical steps behind data's evolution and tell powerful data stories. Sorting, filtering, adding fields, and other actions will now smoothly animate your visualizations. Choose whether to turn Viz Animations on or off, and decide how you'd best like to apply animations to your new workbooks.

2) Dynamic Parameters:
Say goodbye to republishing workbooks with parameters every time the underlying data changes. Set your parameter once, and Tableau will automatically update the parameter's list of values every time someone opens the workbook.

3) Buffer Calculations:

Buffer calculations allow you to visualize the distance around point locations. Give Tableau three parameters-location, distance, and a unit of measure-and a buffer, or boundary is instantly created.
Answering complex spatial questions becomes easier than ever before-visualize what properties are within
200 meters of a proposed transit site, or how many competitors' stores are within 1 mile of their store, and more.

How do you identify a continuous field in Tableau?

• A.It is identified by a blue pill in the visualization
• B.It is identified by a green pill in a visualization
• C.It is preceded by a '=#' symbol in the data window
• D.It is preceded by a 'Abc' symbol in the data window

Correct Answer: C

Explanation
When you connect to a new data source, Tableau assigns each field in the data source as dimension or measure in the Data pane, depending on the type of data the field contains. You use these fields to build views of your data.
